Some of the above Gentlemen are far better writers than me and have really captured much of what i had been thinking. To those of you who have the DMP player and are thinking about upgrading, I would say it is worth it. I still could live with the DMP as it was a great sounding unit, but Frank Visser was correct about the differences. If anyone reading this has the older PWT player, then it is a no-brainer. Get it and get it now.
The bugs are 99% gone and I am very happy with both the functionality of the unit and the “analog” sound quality. If anyone does have a glitch, just reboot the unit and it will be fine.
I for one, am literally rediscovering my collection of cds and SACD’s. Truly we are all blessed to have a company like PS Audio, producing the kind of products that they do. Add in “made in the USA”, a phenomenal customer support team, and a visionary like Paul at the helm, and you have the best Audio company in this country. I still get both TAS and Stereophile, but mostly because of the music reviews, as i am not looking at any other gear
I bet even Michael Fremer could be happy listening to this.

Thiel 3.7 speakers (truly incredible)
REL subs

BHK preamp
P20 PP
DSD DAC

Oracle Delphi II circa 1981 (just for show, do not use at all)
